Update on Garmin Deal-of-The-Day at BEST BUY

Best buy has a deal of the day for $109 on the Garmin.  Model number  Garmin nüvi 1350 Series 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.  This is a considerable deal, I believe this is a $200 unit, and this one comes with free lifetime map updates – which used to cost $90.   This one speaks, and does many things that their lesser models do nor do.

Amazon has it for the same price today, and I sort of prefer Amazon for online buying, free freight and easy checkout. 

On the down side, read some of the reviews.  One person has discovered charging difficulties (won’t charge in sunlight or when it is over 113 degrees).  This could be a major fault if you are driving somewhere on a trip, and the battery gives out and the car charger won’t keep it going.   And might apply to all Garmin models, not just this one.

There are work-arounds, but it is best to read the Amazon review on this topic before buying.
I particularly like the new lane-feature, that tells you which lane (on wide roads) to be in for the next turn, or the right lane at the moment.  This is often confusing in large metro areas where many interstate exits are very close together.  

 Arrival time and speed limit features are included on this model, I believe.
